It began as a farmhouse about 1760 and was remodeled about 1835; it was moved to the park from Hunting Park Avenue in 1930.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is a notable late example of the Classical Revival style. Its five-column portico departs from academic principles on which the style is based, and the 1835 Greek-style additions give the house its present appearance over the c. 1760 farmhouse core.","narrative":"A two-and-a-half-story frame house in Fairmount Park, Philadelphia, its present form dates from about 1835, when a farmhouse built about 1760 on Hunting Park Avenue was extensively enlarged and remodeled. The 1835 work added two large parlors with bedrooms above, joined to the older portion by a transverse hall. Its exterior was covered in ship-lap boarding to imitate smooth masonry, and its gabled portico has five columns instead of the more common six. The older section retains wide yellow pine floorboards, hand-split lathing and small-paned windows in heavy muntins. In 1930 the house was sawn into sections and moved to the park. It is regarded as a notable late example of Classical Revival architecture, its five-column portico a bold departure from academic principles. The house is used as a residence for park employees and can be visited by arrangement with the Philadelphia Museum of Art.","period_of_significance":"ca. 1760-1835","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Classical Revival; Greek style","criteria":[],"status_note":"In good condition and occupied by Fairmount Park employees; it can be visited by arrangement with the Philadelphia Museum of Art.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:11:30.43461-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_PA/72001157.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/72001157/fa5b9e987c-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/72001157/fa5b9e987c-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Smallbones","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Hatfield_House_Philly.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">Smallbones</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Hatfield_House_Philly.JPG"},"district":{"nrhp_refnum":"72001151","name":"Fairmount Park","url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/districts/pennsylvania/fairmount-park-72001151/"},"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71996946","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hatfield_House_(Philadelphia,_Pennsylvania)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5681384"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/pennsylvania/philadelphia/hatfield-house-72001157/"}
